Fleming's grave is to the left of the church gate, along a well-kept path,
looking forlorn and austere.

Omnia perfunctus vitae praemia marces". Buried with him is his wife Ann: "Ann
Geraldine Mary Fleming 1913-1981.
There is none like her, none" and his son, Caspar: "Caspar Robert Fleming 1952 -
1975: To cease upon the midnight with no pain"

popular travel books, has was educated at Eton.

he kept in touch with local affairs. He became vice-president of Swindon
Artists' Society, made donations to local clubs and backed his prospective
Tory MP Charles Morrision in 1964.
